With his friend Jean Trémoulet Chaboud began racing late in 1936 with a Delahaye. The pair competed together until 1938 when, after winning the Le Mans 24-hour race, they went their separate ways.

Following the war, Chaboud was soon back racing, involved with Paul Vallée's Ecurie France team as sporting director and lead driver with his Delahaye 135S. In 1947 the team acquired a 1939 Talbot monoplace with which Eugene lost no time in winning races at Marseilles and Perpignan. The drive was then given to Louis Chiron, so Chaboud and Charles Pozzi left in disgust and set up their own team. Eugene emerged as French champion, and for 1948 they created Ecurie Leutitia, with Chaboud still racing his Delahaye. He took sixth place in the 1949 French GP, and was very unlucky at Le Mans when the car caught fire while leading the race by some nine miles and eventually had to be abandoned.

Chaboud's chance to race in more competitive machinery than the Delahaye came in 1950, when he was invited to drive a Lago-Talbot in place of the injured Martin. Sharing the car with Étancelin, he finished fifth in the French GP.

In the Le Mans 24 Hours of 1952, Chaboud lay sixth until, after the 22-hour mark, he crashed the Talbot. While lying under the overturned car waiting to be extricated, he had leisure to decide it was a good time to call it a day!
